Conclusion

UEFI BIOS is theoretically a very convenient way of learning about the BIOS functionality, changing the parameters, launching several applications without booting the operating system. However, MSI Click BIOS is currently quite raw and is not ready yet for fully-functional use. Reflashing it is still too complicated for a beginner, translation issues may be pretty confusing even for an experienced user, there are quite a few upsetting problems that need to be fixed. We were especially upset to find only one really useful utility: Flash BIOS. As you can see, the MSI Extras DISC is Linux based:

Why didn’t they include any browser, instant messenger, music and video players or chats? MSI web-site claims that all these are going to be added in the near future:

Moreover, MSI is going to involve experienced users into tools development, so there will definitely be much more useful tools available to you one day, but not yet.

Remember what we expected from a UEFI BIOS in the beginning of this article? Let’s see how well our expectations are met in MSI Click BIOS. Yes, they did provide interface in several languages, even with brief comments, however, it is sometimes incorrect and confusing. Mouse works perfectly fine, no problems here. As to the aesthetics of the interface, tastes differ, so we won’t comment on that part here. Flash BIOS is unfortunately the only really useful tool built in. Click BIOS has limited functionality of a traditional BISO and is not bug-free yet.

At first we were going to perform a short test session and try overclocking a CPU, but we gave up this idea because even in nominal mode the processor wasn’t working the way it was supposed to. Of course, you have to draw the conclusions yourselves, but I think at this time MSI Click BIOS is just a pretty toy to play with. It can give us an idea on what we could expect in the near future, but after that it is better to go back to the good old blue-and-white BIOS without mouse, graphics, or sound, but with richer functionality and fewer problems.
